Jujutsu Kaisen

Before long.

Everyone arrived at Shibuya's New South Exit.

There was no one there besides them.

This was also where Kusakabe and Panda had been stationed earlier, outside the Curtain.

Once they arrived.

Everyone present looked at Itadori.

After all.

He was the only one among them who knew where the item had been hidden.

Itadori no longer felt the excitement of a treasure hunt. All that remained was a deathly silence.

If it were me...

I would hide it among lots of identical objects.

That way.

It wouldn't stand out.

Kaneki's voice echoed in Itadori's mind.

After looking around, Itadori found no large collection of similar objects.

Seeing this.

Itadori asked for help outright. "Help me find somewhere with lots of identical objects."

At that.

Everyone understood where to look.

They spread out and began searching.

Around Shibuya's New South Exit, three places fit the description.

One: the end of the third-floor passage at the New South Exit.

There was a storage room there filled with identical cardboard boxes.

Two: the METS Hotel.

The hotel would also have identical cardboard boxes.

Three: the pile of boxes containing ritual implements at the Kinno Hachiman Shrine.

That place was farther away, a five-minute walk.

So.

It came last.

As the saying went, many hands made light work.

Before long, the group had carried all the items that fit the criteria out onto the street.

Itadori watched from the side.

The others opened the boxes in front of him, one after another.

"Not it."

"Not it."

Itadori kept repeating the same words.

Aoi Todo opened a box and found more ingredients. He was about to toss it behind him when Itadori's urgent voice rang out beside him.

"Wait!"

At those words.

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

"Todo." As Itadori spoke, he reached for the box in Todo's hands.

Seeing Itadori reach for it.

Kugisaki hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

"Itadori, did you forget? Kaneki said it would be best if I opened it."

Itadori stopped reaching for the box.

Kugisaki took the box Todo handed her and said, "It was only later, after talking to Gojo-sensei, that I understood who he meant by the ages sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, twenty-eight, and thirty-one, or the gorgeous blonde."

"Mai and I are sixteen."

It was Maki Zenin who said this.

"I'm seventeen."

Kasumi Miwa raised her hand and said, "Momo Nishimiya is a year older than me."

Then...

She added, "If I remember correctly, Utahime-sensei is thirty-one."

Momo Nishimiya, Utahime, and some of the more seriously injured people had not come.

They had stayed in Shibuya to wrap things up.

Kasumi Miwa asked curiously, "Then who's twenty-eight?"

"Shoko."

Nanami spoke up.

He didn't include Mei Mei...

He also understood why Kaneki had left her out.

There was no need to ask about the beautiful blonde. They already knew it was Yuki Tsukumo, one of the four Special Grade Sorcerers, whom they had just met!

Then.

Nanami looked at the insulated container Kugisaki took out of the box. A label on it read "Tonkatsu Rice Bowl."

The lettering was in an ordinary font.

Machine-printed.

Not handwritten.

The box held only the insulated container, with nothing else inside.

When they opened the container, they found a Tonkatsu Rice Bowl that still felt warm to the touch.

It looked like restaurant food in every respect.

"This is it!"

Nanami and Todo spoke in unison.

At that.

The others looked at them in confusion.

Aoi Todo explained, "METS mainly serves light Western meals and Western cuisine. They don't sell Tonkatsu Rice Bowls."

Nanami pushed up his glasses, looked at Itadori, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you like Tonkatsu Rice Bowls, don't you, Itadori?"

"Yeah."

Itadori's tears began flowing again.

Kugisaki took out the Tonkatsu Rice Bowl and was surprised to find a piece of stiff cardboard underneath.

Seeing that.

Kugisaki immediately became certain that Ken Kaneki had left this.

She lifted the cardboard slightly and found a small notebook underneath.

-This is it!

Kugisaki was absolutely certain.

She handed the Tonkatsu Rice Bowl to Itadori, then took out the notebook and read it out of his sight.

The cover showed a smiling Yuji Itadori, with a large title written beside him.

-Jujutsu Kaisen!

After making sure there was no useful information on the back cover, Kugisaki began reading without hesitation.

None of the others looked inside. They quietly stood guard around her.

She turned to the first page.

-I am Ken Kaneki. By the time you see this book, I may already be dead.

Whoever you are.

Please remember what I write next.

One: don't let Maki and Mai return to the Zenin Clan. Mai will die there.

Two: protect Masamichi Yaga.

After the Shibuya Incident, Jujutsu Headquarters will sentence him to death for inciting his students to cause the Shibuya Incident.

In truth.

They want the method for creating cursed corpses.

Below this entry was a manga illustration of Masamichi Yaga's death.

It was uncolored.

Two blade wounds were clearly visible on Yaga's chest, but the killer was not depicted.

Panda, however, was shown sobbing.

-Even Panda cries.

Three: don't let Panda enter the Culling Game.

If he enters the Culling Game, his brother and sister will die.

Four: leave Tengen alone.

Yuki Tsukumo will die at Kenjaku's hands while protecting Tengen.

Below that.

There was also a drawing of Kenjaku.

Five: keep an eye on Megumi Fushiguro's sister.

Kenjaku has selected Tsumiki Fushiguro as a vessel for a Culling Game player, just like Itadori.

She cannot perfectly suppress Sukuna the way Itadori can. The ancient female sorcerer Uro will incarnate in her and seize her body.

-Uro.

She possesses the Construction Technique.

She can use cursed energy to construct any substance she understands, including weapons, armor, biological tissue, and even cursed tools.

She can control liquid metal.

She can freely shape it for mid- to long-range attacks, defense, or restraining opponents.

She can also imitate an insect's exoskeleton.

This greatly enhances her strength, speed, bite force, and jumping ability.

A closed-barrier domain.

-Threefold Suffering!

It creates a "Perfect Sphere" with infinite pressure that can crush anything.

He had also drawn Uro's hand sign.

Six: keep an eye on Megumi Fushiguro.

During the Culling Game, Sukuna will forcibly take over Megumi Fushiguro's body.

When that happens.

He will use the Ten Shadows Technique to kill Megumi Fushiguro's sister, making Megumi's soul sink completely and giving him full control of the body.

There was also a drawing of Sukuna in Megumi Fushiguro's body.

Ideally.

Keep Sukuna from taking over Megumi Fushiguro's body. Without Sukuna, Kenjaku will be much easier to deal with.

If you can't stop it...

Then don't let Uro leave. Defeat her before Sukuna gains complete control of Fushiguro's body, and use the soul-separation method Tsukumo left behind to remove her.

Seven: protect Fumihiko Takaba if you can.

He's a comedian.

He lives on such-and-such street.

He possesses the special cursed technique [Comedian], which turns anything he imagines to be funny into reality.

At present.

Takaba is still unaware of his technique's ability.

You can decide whether to tell him about his technique based on his personality.

Because.

Kenjaku learned that Takaba would conceal Okkotsu's cursed energy, allowing Okkotsu to behead him, he may very well kill Takaba ahead of time.

It would be best if you could save his life.

If you can't, so be it.

Kaneki had also drawn a picture of Fumihiko Takaba.

He then briefly explained that he had traded information about the future to Kenjaku in exchange for awakening his cursed technique.

Eight: beware of Kenjaku!

A mysterious sorcerer who has lived for over a thousand years.

His innate cursed technique is unknown.

He can repeatedly change bodies while retaining a part of his original body.

-His brain.

The cursed techniques he currently possesses include Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Anti-Gravity System, and he is also proficient in Reverse Cursed Technique.
